Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ رَبِّهِ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ نَخْلًا قَدْ أُبِّرَتْ فَثَمَرَتُهَا لِلْأَوَّلِ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ مَمْلُوكًا وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ لِرَبِّهِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْت
َاعُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ بِالنَّخْلِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمَمْلُوكِ عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ لَا أَعْلَمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا إِلَّا عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَحَدَّثَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Muhammad ibn Ja'far, from Shu'ba, from 'Abd Rabbihi ibn Sa'id, from Nafi' — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever sells a date palm that has already been pollinated — its fruit belongs to the first seller. And whoever sells a slave who has property — that property belongs to his first master, unless the buyer stipulates [otherwise].' Shu'ba said: 'I then related the hadith of Ayyub from Nafi' to ['Abd Rabbihi] — that he had attributed the palm tree ruling to the Prophet ﷺ but the slave ruling to 'Umar. 'Abd Rabbihi said: "I know both together only from the Prophet ﷺ." Then on another occasion he related them both from the Prophet ﷺ without any doubt.'
